Joining a club
Many clubs run their events and memberships on BP-Pickleball. Open the club's own address (for example yourclub.bp-pickleball.com) to see its events and, if it sells memberships, a Join link.
Becoming a member
- Sign in with your BP-Pickleball account (create a free one if you're new), then open Join.
- Pick a level and who it is for: yourself, a junior you manage, or an adult linked to you. A family level covers several people under one membership.
- Every covered person needs an emergency contact on their profile (add it under My account first if it's missing). Some levels have age limits.
- If the club has a waiver, read it and type your full name to agree; answer any questions the club asks.
- A free level starts right away. A paid one takes you to a secure payment page; your membership appears within a minute of paying.
Your answers and waiver are private: only you and the club's admins can see them.
Renewing
Open My membership on the club's page to see your level, member number and when you're covered through. Tap Renew to extend it: if you renew while still active, the new term starts where the old one ends. The club emails you 30, 7 and 1 days before it ends. A free or lifetime membership never expires.
Members-only events and discounts
- Some club events are members only. If you're not an active member the registration page says so and links to Join the club.
- Your level may give you a discount on the club's events. It's applied automatically and shown on the registration page; it isn't combined with a discount code, you get the better of the two.
The club calendar
Open the club's Calendar to see its leagues, tournaments, lessons, open play and club activities in one place. Each kind has its own color (and its name is written beside it). Use Month, Week, Day or Agenda, or Courts for a grid with a column for each court, and Filters to show only some kinds, one site or one court. Tap an entry to open it. Members see the members-only entries too. Subscribe from the calendar page to get it in your own calendar app. Your members-only address is just yours: keep it private, and it stops working if your membership ends.
Open play and lessons
- Open play: open the club's Open play page, pick a session and choose who is playing (yourself, a junior you manage or a linked adult). Sessions can be for members only, or members and guests. A paid spot is held for 15 minutes while you pay. If the session is full you can join the waitlist: when a spot opens you're emailed, and if it costs money you have 2 hours to pay. Cancel from the same page: before the cutoff a paid spot is refunded.
- Lessons: open the club's Lessons page for coaches and upcoming lessons. Book a place for yourself or someone you manage; some lessons are paid online, some you pay the coach directly, some are free. Canceling before the lesson's cutoff refunds an online payment. If a lesson is full, join its waitlist: nothing is charged, and if a place opens you are booked automatically and emailed (for an online-paid lesson the place is held for you for 15 minutes so you can pay). You also get a reminder email the day of your lesson.
- Some membership levels include open play, so those spots cost nothing.
Club emails come from Club Name via BP-Pickleball; replying reaches the club. You can turn organizer emails off under My account → Email notifications, though a club can still send urgent notices like closures.
